LOL just when we thought we were getting an early fall we hit 90 today.

Hi got any ideas for fall?

Looks like were going to have an early fall here in CNY.

Your right i woke up this morning and had no feet.lol

LOL i'm trying to stay thin.

Where has it gone or did i miss it?

Thank You LJ for removing your post.

I won't have that on this board one warning only and this is it.

Musiclover no harm done i thought i missed something,which usually i don't.

Well one was a total mess all chewed up the others are doing great.Too late for Roses unless you get the hardy ones that bloom during the winter.Those little green worms are finally gone.Were getting down in the 50's at night very short Summer here.We have a very short growing period.Almost time to plant the garlic here.Usually in Oct but were doing it in a couple of weeks.We've had SNOW in Oct before so it's better to get it in early.

Musiclover is something on this board that bothers you,or i missed? This is a fun board and i intend to keep it that way.

LOL on the garlic just a thought.It did work for my Rose Bush but to late for Roses.I'd love to see pictures of your plants.

Bernice just a thought put some garlic powder around the plants,than water the roots will soak up the garlic.We put sugar around the plants for a sweeter tomatoe.

I do that with mulch and quite heavy since our winters are brutal.My Granmother came over and sprayed my rose bush with garlic water lol.That'll take care of those little green worms she says.I'll let ya all know if it works.

It was 48 here this morning.lol

I never heard of a watering trench around Roses or Gardenias......My Gardenia is at the florist to see whats going on with it.
Rosebush got dug up..........
Bernice i'm in Central NY very harsh winters we have.

Thanks bwildman i'll have my hubby try that.

Here we go again i can't get rid of the little green worms.Any ideas anybody?

Bernice i'm still gonna baby it and see what happens.My sister has two huge bushes in her yard and she lives in Fla.One gets to much sun and doesn't flower,the other gets partial sun and blooms all the time.My hubby may take it into one of our flower shops to check it out.You should see the pot it's in it's huge.

Skip no i re-potted it months ago.It did flower so i'm not sure whats wrong.I can't put it outside not where i live.

From what i read they like partial sun and misting every day.I got alot of new leaves sprouting.
Can't dig it up it's in a huge pot in my house lol

Anyone know anything about this plant.I have a plant thats dropping it's leaves like crazy.Checked for little critters but have none.I read up on it and tried whats recommended but no luck.

I too have mint all thru my yard,i love the smell
when the lawn is mowed.

Before i had my garden dug i used big pots and pails to grow tomatoes.lol.....but it sure worked.Great when you don't have a yard and can put them on your porch.
I grow fresh herbs all winter in a flower box my husband made me.

Thanks but have to give the hubby credit for that one.

Go around your home and clean the hair from your brushes and combs,put them in stockings like knee highs and tie it.Place around the garden the critters will smell HUMAN and stay away.

I never spray my garden with anything.I have a six yr old thats always in the garden.
Plant garlic thru out the garden that helps also.

I'll have steak with greens Scarlete.lol

What is Mushroom Manure?

If ya want good land to plant be sure to mulch and use compost.We have clay soil and it took us 3 yrs to get the soil to work for us.Clay is very hard soil so this year my husband dug it all out and added topsoil.Needless to say i'm happy with that.

Of course Jam if the kids don't get them first.

Thats a good idea but i water on the same day every week so i don't forget.Like every Sunday,now it's a habit.

I just started to grow one and it's taken off quite well.A relative of mine has a huge one with a picnic table under it.Great for lots of shade and very cooling.

I have a bush but no berries,added coffee grounds and guess what, berries.The bush needed acidic soil.

When planting a Rose bush drop a banana in the hole first.Roses need potassium for strong roots.
